The Question is: Hi, One of our processes fails to start-up, giving the usual exceeded-quota problem. An executable linked with debug does not run, so that we could not verify which resources were being requested, and hence causing a depreciation of quotas. The program does s pecificy a large array of a record structure. We have checked out the obvious MAXBUF, BYTLM, GBLPAGFIL, GBLPAGES,PGFLQUO,WORKING_SET,WS_EXTENT and the physical size of the disk-based pagefile. The program still does not run. Reducing the array size and re -compiling it does work, but our programmers need to use the bigger declaration. Please help. The Answer is : You have indicated you have checked values, but not what the values are, nor what the application requirements might be. Solely based on your reference to a large array, it would appear that the system VIRTUALPAGECNT parameter setting (typically unlimited on the specificed OpenVMS release) or the process PGFLQUOTA is limiting the application. It is also possible that you have exceeded the available address space within P0 and P1 (32-bit space), or that there is no room in the process working-set. You can potentially determine addressing requirements from the link maps. Please (try to) run the application interactively, then examine the quotas used with the quotas available in the detached process environment. Interactive quotas are determined by the SYSUAF settings, while detached process settings are determined by the specific quotas specified when the process is created as minimized against the PQL system default system parameter settings and the PQL system quota minimum values. Topic (1661) contains lists of and also has pointers to various coding mistakes, and to other related topics. Other SS$_EXQUOTA discussion topics include (7743), (5747), (3518) and (1558).
